Letters .Patent No. 105,021, dated July 5, 1880.

IMROVEMENT IN WELL-A'UG-ERS.

The- Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent lazidmakhig part of the same To all whom it muy concern Be it known that we, JOHN WILSON and GEORGE H. BAISLY, of Hamilton, in the county of Caldwell and State of Missouri, have invented a new and -Improved Tell-Auger yand we do hereby declare that the followingis a full,clear, and exact description thereof, which willenable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specication.

This invention relates to well-angers, and consists in a certain improvement thereon, which will be specied hereinafter.

Figure 1 represents an elevation of the auger, and a section through the bucket; it also represents the radial cutter in elevation on the operating-rod, and

Figure 2 representsa View ofthe point.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Our improvement in the lips of the auger consists in beveling them from the sides ct to the point b, aud from the rear to the front faces, as shown in fig. 2, at c, whereby the point is better adapted for raising the coarse gravel-stones than those drills having the points arranged in lines perpendicular to the longitudinal axes.

For enlarging the bore made by the auger, we attach to the rod above it a radial cutter, A, having a sweep, as much greater than the radius of the-hole formed by the auger as we desire to enlarge the bore,

and Weattach a bucket, B, to the shaft below the torn disk, to which one of tlie'parts is permanently connected, and at the top by the hasps E, hinged to one and connected to the other by the staples F and pins Gr.

Having thus described our invention,

We claim as new and -desire to secure by Letters- Patent- Y l'lhe combination, with the shank of a well-auger or theope'rating-rod, of a bucket, B, and radial cutter A, substantiallyas specified.

JOHN WILSON.

GEORGE HJBAISLY.
